Hrvatska je na Euro opet stigla predvođena Slavenom Bilićem, ali i na krilima svojevrsne “osvete” Turskoj u dodatnim kvalifikacijama. Vatreni su igrali u skupini s Republikom Irskom i, pokazalo se, budućim finalistima Italijom i Španjolskom.
Turnir nije mogao bolje započeti za Hrvatsku: Mario Mandžukić glavom je u padu svladao Givena poslije samo tri minute, no St. Ledger je ubrzo izjednačio rezultat. U još jednom ključnom trenutku, neposredno prije poluvremena, Nikica Jelavić vraća vodstvo, a Mandžukić nedugo nakon odmora upisuje pobjedu 3:1.
Hrvatska je ostala u Poznanju i čekala dvoboj s Azzurrima, koje je u vodstvo doveo Pirlo iz slobodnog udarca. Dvadesetak minuta prije kraja Mandžukić se pojavio na pravom mjestu i svladao Buffona (1:1) te s tri pogotka postao jedan od najboljih strijelaca turnira, uz bok Torresu, Ronaldu, Balotelliju, Gomezu i Dzagoevu.
Hrvatskoj je za plasman u drugi krug natjecanja bila potrebna pobjeda nad Španjolskom u Gdanjsku. Hrvatska se izvanredno snašla protiv aktualnih prvaka, nedodirljive španjolske Tiki-Take i u nastavku dočekala veličanstvenu priliku Ivana Rakitića, ali i nedosuđen evidentan prekršaj za najstrožu kaznu na Ćorluki. U 88. minuti Jesus Navas srušio je hrvatske nade (0:1).
Tijesno ispadanje u skupini bio je i završni čin izborničkog mandata Slavena Bilića, Hrvatski nogometni savez okrenuo se Igoru Štimcu koji je poveo Vatrene u kvalifikacijski ciklus za Svjetsko prvenstvo u Brazilu.
